"I know one of the boobs is bigger than the other but, who's isn't" As a woman I felt that in my soul 😂 P.s I think you definitely deserve to get credit for people using you as inspiration I personally don't see a problem with you addressing the problem either Edit:woah wasn't expecting this
Lol. I remember myself thinking in that moment: "so, even the demonic half spider women are not free of the uneven boob curse". There's definitely not hope to anybody in this world xD
Actually I believe it's because women don't really have the proper knowledge to look after their boobs ? So I think that all women should let me take care of their boobs ???? I would do an amazing job? Peace James
it’s not selfish to want recognition for your work! It’s like citing sources for papers! If I repainted the Mona Lisa and the passed it off as 100% my original design that wouldn’t be okay. Also to people doing this there is no shame in stating someone as inspiration! It doesn’t make your art any less yours because you did it! It’s just showing respect to your fellow artist! You’d want the same done for you!
As a nail technician I run into this issue as well and I’m glad you brought it up! It’s why I try to tag creators that have inspired the nails I create! I agree with you 100%
I feel like the fact that all your dolls slay the bald look is a testament to how good your sculptures are, but on the subject of hair it would’ve been hilarious if you gave her a widows peak
I'm sure this will be one of my favorite projects you've done! I may be terribly afraid of spiders (and some insects), but you manage to create creepy and cute at the same time!💗✨ Keep it up! Edited: My confidence is justified!
Yes I really enjoy it too.. I'm not scared. That is amazing. 😄😄😄(●'▽'●)ゝ Ναι όντως το απολαμβάνω και εγώ μπορεί να μην τρόμαξα αλλά αυτό είναι πολύ φανταστικό!! ❤❤❤❤❤
You’re absolutely right! Your work is very gorgeous and unique so if someone copies it and doesn’t even acknowledge your original piece it’s bound to be infuriating! I wish I could have this lady! Absolutely amazing work! ❤
I’m not sure I’d say I’m a spider “expert” but I have pet spiders, and I think you did really well with the anatomy actually!! And I have live references so… the only thing is I kinda wish she had 8 eyes and longer thinner black fangs, but overall she’s beautiful and I love how she came out!! I really like the eye-like parts on her body, overall she’s super rad and sexy （≧∇≦）
I absolutely agree that you deserve recognition and respect for sharing your art, as well as the struggles you go through when trying new techniques or refining existing ones! Thank you for sharing, by the way; I may not be a doll customizer myself (nor do I think I will ever be), but watching your videos is always an enjoyable experience, and absolutely fascinating to the artist in me! :)
Gorgeous, as always! Honestly, I don't think is petty to ask for recognition when others get inspired by your work. It doesn't matter if it's art or any other type of work. "Give credit where credit is due"- is as simple as that.
She looks absolutely INCREDIBLE! Every aspect of her creation turned out so incredible from her body, to her webbed cave! That spiderweb liquid looks way cool!! I do not think it is too much to ask for a little credit when you know someone has used your work as inspiration! It's honestly the least they can do!
I have to agree with the majority of the comments i've read. Your work is beautiful and incredibly creative. I do think you deserve recognition for it, but I also believe the people who designed the doll that you work with could use a little recognition as well. Perhaps you could let us know?
@@stevebrown3159 Yyyyy.... It's Monster High doll... I stated it even in the thumbnail. The owner of the doll is me, because I bought her. The owner of the design (Mattel) sold it to me and what I am doing with it is up to me. That is how customizing works. As long as I am not stating that my new doll is an original Monster High design or I am not using the og design and claim that it is mine - it is totally legal. Trust me - I checked. The doll here is just a base and I am redesigning it completely. I do not use someone else's design... it's just weird that I have to explain it?
It would be so awesome to see more humanoid spider girls!! I could imagine one with fluff or something. This could be a great start at a new family project like the bees or succubus ones. And I think people who are taken inspiration from your art should at least be so kind to give you credit that you deserve. It doesn't hurt to mention that they've got the idea from you. It doen't make their art any less, they still made it. I always tell people when they see my art, who inspired me to do that. Keep your great artwork up, and don't let anybody get to you because they tell you your selfish. You aren't. It is your right to wanting credit of your own creations.
I love your work Marzena! I only watch doll customization on your channel so I had no idea about the community taking your ideas with no credit. That must be frustrating. That being said, it is my belief that expressing your frustration is valid, and what people do with that is their own problem. Glad you talked about this on your channel. Great work as always!
Thank you! A lo of people on Instagram are sharing their creations with me, stating that they were inspired by my works and I love this so much! At the beginning everyone was inspired by someone after all! But few times I just stumble upon figurines that were veeeeery heavily inspired by my specific works with the same design choices, the same techniques and ways of working being used... and zero credits. It is jus hard to feel flattered then.
So excited!!!! You are absolutely my favorite doll reconstructionist on RUclips. LOVE your creativity and commentary and animations and editing. Literally everything. Keep up the awesome work please!!!
With how many of your dolls look gorgeous bald, you really need to give us a bald final design! Anyway, she is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so glad you made her face more spidery and fed my monster loving heart!
I just never think in bald categories and then they always look so good without hair! XD I do not learn from my own experience XD I guess only my Frog Fairy was meant to be bald from the start :P
"Whose isnt?" Truer words have never been spoken! Thank you for your transparency with your work. I hope other creators heard your words for what they were. Your work is gorgeous! 🕷 🕸 🕷 🕸 🕷
I am terrified of spiders but this one yes she can take me she looks so beutiful your such a amazing artist i love your channel keep up the good work ❤
Thissss is exactly what I want to do as a doll customizer. Full on sculptures. If I ever get into it as much as I want to I will credit you. I totally understand as an artist wanting credit. It is one of the best ways to help other artists out as well. Sharing art inspiration (if it is obvious to see the inspiration) totally needs credit. Instant subscribe
You 100% have every right to feel as you do; I've seen several artists clearly inspired by you and yet make no mention. What I do find comforting are all those in the comment section who give those unaware the knowledge of who you are; your fan base is loyal and without being disrespectful about it - myself included. Your work is truly unique and beautiful, sometimes hauntingly so. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Your work is always top-notch! This was so amazing to see! Also, on the topic of other artists ripping off your/others' work.......they're lucky that you're nicer than I am, because I would have called them out with comparison shots and all kinds of receipts! Frome one creative to another, nothing is worse than an unoriginal "artist" stealing someone else's idea, making little tweaks, and pretending it was their own creativity that brought the project to life. You have every right to be irked by this!
Thank you so much :) I am happy and relief to hear that most of my viewers understands me in this topic. I really don't want to be mad at anyone. I want people to respect me and others and I want to respect them back, that's all :) But I also know that everyone can make mistakes sometimes, this is why I didn't mentioned anyone by name.
@@CatmeleonStudio I can 100% understand how you feel since I actually JUST came across a channel that uses a similar filming style as you and uses your signature wood glue and kitty-litter stand combo in the exact same method. Even their doll was in a similar style to yours... Just seeing it made me uncomfortable, especially without them crediting you as their obvious source of inspiration. But, whatever. You will always be an original!
She looks phenomenal! I can tell you put a lot of work into making your spider body as accurate as possible. You even thought about including her pedipalps which made me happy; I think most people would have forgotten them. :) As a spider lover this whole project made me so excited and the result looks terrific, congrats! 👏❤
Theres nothing wrong with wanting recognition! If I'm ever inspired by an artist in my artwork I write down their name/username, even if I dont post or show it off. Its simply giving credit where credits due! Great work as always! ❤
absolutely nothing selfish about wanting credit for inspiration, your art is beautiful and unique and if people want to honor you by recreating it they should also be honoring you by acknowledging you as a source
I’m so happy that you mentioned earth to Lylah, she is a really big inspiration to me too! her designs are really otherworldly and creative, which Is kind of like my own artstyle. Because of this, I feel inspired to push the limits of my drawings and go crazy with features and proportions, kinda like you do :D she deserves so much more recognition!
She is my guru! XD She is the one that made me decide that I want to try this art form and I want to make videos of it. You can definitely say that I wouldn't be here if not for her figurines :)
I would get this sculpture if I were to see it on stores, just slam the cash down and get it. The details on the spider body and the cave with all the web. Love it ❤🕷
you've outdone yourself again. this is fantastic, and im with your sister in this is horribly wonderful in the most complimentary way possible. I adore your more mature content it is always such an inspiration how you manage to out do yourself every time. I so appreciate being able to follow you on your doll journey, because every video is absolutely stunning both in terms of the art and your video production. I'm in love and also terrified, and i thank you for both.
Your statement about giving credit where credit is due is spot on! I feel that this can be boiled down to one very big concept.......respect. Somehow with all the acceptance respect for others seems to have been forgotten. Please do not become discouraged.......your art is fun and wonderful to watch! Keep up the good work! Thank you for doing what you do!❤
Thank you so much! I am really happy that majority of my viewers agrees with me on this topic, like there's not even a conversation, it is just a right thing to do, period :)
She's amazing! I'm terrified of spiders, but this is one of the most beautiful dolls you've created. I love that you gave her many extra eyes. Have you considered making a doll with two heads? I would love to see a conjoined twin or simply two-headed doll translated through your lovely creepy style!
It is not selfish to want recognition, as someone who has had their work ripped off with zero recognition it makes you feel sour inside, because oftentimes they get more recognition for their recreations than the original creators get for their art! Please don’t feel bad for being salty about it!
I get you. Is hard to come with new concept that someone hasnt done before and when you manage to break and make something new and have someone to stole the idea and make then thiers, is hard. You have rights to call out and make a compromise. She is just so beautiful, her eyes are my favorite feature.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! For compliments and for your understanding of the topic. You can't really do boo when the copy is not like 100% accurate, just very heavily inspired. So it is more about being polite and respectful. And about feelings - and those conversations are the hardest to empathize with :/
@@CatmeleonStudio Yeah I saw a video and the doll maker was inspire by your bees dolls and she even talk about your work in her vídeo. I felt proud of you, becasue people are getting inspire by your beautiful, stunning and unike creativety. We just need honesto and give credits or shout outs, so other can be curious to find another creator and fall in love with their work too.
@@dorisramos9134 That's exactly what it's all about! Sharing the art that we love and recognition for artists that made it :) You may be talking about Enchanterium? They made a Wasp girl and yes, they mentioned me in the video, which made me very happy to hear ^_^
She’s absolutely epic!! And you have every right to ask for artistic credit when people use you and your techniques as inspiration. Honestly though, I’m terrified of spiders but I think this is one of my favourite doll figures you’ve created
I think wanting credit is not selfish, as you said it's common courtesy! And if you got an idea from someone else, give credit for inspiration. You always do give credit who inspire you! Don't be down on yourself for wanting recognition for your hard work. As always, your creation is amazing! Thank you for sharing her with us! 💖
24:11 WOAH the white hair made the nest super realistic! (Coming from a spider geek) this looks a lot like some species of tarantulas nests wow u did an amazing job
I'm not a artist on RUclips but I am on pinterest I have seen ppl steal and copy my art in my opinion if you gonna take inspiration from a artist at least credit them
Ahh I love this one!!!!! I love how you make sure to keep it spooky with your dolls while making them pretty! Also your epoxy transitions are getting so good and smooth, good job! You've mentioned in past videos that it's something you've been working on and you can definitely see the improvement ❤️ As for recognition, it's NOT petty. If someone is using your work as inspiration they need to be crediting you since you're the OG creator.
Thank you! I can see the progress on my works and nothing makes me more happy than that :) Even though there's still long road ahead of me :) I am so happy that you like this girl and that people understand my bitterness :)
Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 🎉. I have never seen someone. Doing what you do. The closest thing that I have seen. Is when someone modifies an action figure. Like modeling a Boba Fett action figure. To a better look than the factory 🏭 look. I love ❤️ that you also said Boris Vallejo. That is what I thought of. When I saw your thumbnail.
One of the big crafting channels for kids copied our entire doll, every detail and they were saying things like "I'm just going to add a few details of my own" 😂 can't find it now but it had way more views then our original design :/
I remember this Nerine rip off! It was hideous to do this by that channel and I believe I even gave them a dislike. This is so infuriating when you see your design copied in 80,90,100!% and no asking permission, no credit whatsoever, cause “shush! I made it by myself”…
Oh yeah, after waiting for another one of your artworks, I just fell in love with this beautiful sculpture. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but with you, that fear disappeared. Thank you for doing such amazing things 💜✨
Chyba pierwszy raz widzę kogos tak utalentowanego co do designu lalek. Widzialam wiele tego typu lalek u np. Dollightfull ale jescze nigdy w tym stylu! Wyglada naprawde wspaniale i mam nadzieję że bedziesz dalej sie rozwijac i tworzyć, powodzonka
Your work is AMAZING. We have a saying, “Never let the truth get in the way of telling a good story “. In other words, don’t stress about being anatomically correct. As an artist, you know if something looks off. I could see this piece scaled up, and scaring kids at Halloween. That is an amazing piece. I love it. 👍
Wow!! She's so stunning!!!! I'm sorry RUclips had to be jerks about this vid. They were missing a lot of nuance and didn't take the time to give it a chance. Those jerks!! Glad I got to enjoy it tho!!!
You’re so kind. I would call people ripping me off by their names. You’re definitely an inspiration to many, but they should change up their work more, and give you credit for the ideas they pull from you.
Thank you! I don't want to make them any publicity, good nor bad... I just hope maybe they will see this video and at least they will know that I know and I am not ok with what they are doing (or not doing). That's all.
So cool! Driders are one of my favorite fantasy creatures! And yours is amazing! Beautiful and terrifying all at once. I've said many times you and your art are so inspiring and this sculpture definitely is. But I also need to say that your videos are also fun and entertaining. The information you share is so incredible and descriptive. And you have a good sense of humor, which really helps show how much you love the process of creating, which can often be very stressful. I love this sculpture and look forward to your next creation.
When I was younger I copied a pic and posted it, forgetting to give recognition and the artist came to me and told me that they weren't happy with me. I felt bad. Since then, I've been careful with that. You inspire me, I wouldn't want you to stop! No your advice and technics are awesome!
Happy to hear that you learned from your small mistake and were willing to admit it. Bad intentions are not always the case and things among common courtesy sometimes need to be learn. Also politeness and mutual respect shouldn't be something to be ashamed of or hidden :) Thank you for your comment and I am so happy that you enjoy my work!
Wow! This is the first of your work I have seen and I love it! It's fantastic! As a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, this is the PERFECT likeness of Lolth. I look forward to more of your work. Thank you.
I think your work is amazing, it should be recognized. It has inspired me to get back to scalping. I never thought to use a doll to work off of. I dont post stuff to RUclips and my style is very different from yours, but if ever asked, I tell people to check out your channel because it's truly incredible. What pencils do you use?
She looks drop dead gorgeous! I'll call her Arachnid the seductive spider demon. (Story) In the darkest age of Greece Arachnid daughter of Arachne was out Lust & Pride, her weaving skills were very unique but using that skill cute lead men to their doom. Arachnid was indeed a spider witch like her mother, a professional widow who did unimaginable things during the dark ages like hanging her victims upside down, drain of blood & dragged around, clothes ripped to shreds while the walls were painted in blood, even the furniture were chewed & crushed like a savaged beast trashed the men's homes. She disguised herself as a beautiful women & lead men to her cave thus ending their lives, beware the spiders should thou enter their webs will only leads you to the path of death. See you on your next video & Happy Birthday.💖🕸🕷
I have feeling that this video was demonitised because it was most viewed (and it's absolutely gorgeus), but also think that it might be the word "negro", the platform could falsely mark it as insult.
Again this is the third time watching this awesome video you don't need to explain your case for other artist to include your video if they are using your ideas they should of said it before starting the costumering their dolls and explain why they copied your style, (copying your work is unbelievable you are bloody awesome) love ya hun Xxxx ps its not a rant its just stating the facts and common cursity xxx
Could you make a doll of a snow leopard? It is my favorite animal and I think you could make a doll with a very wild but beautiful style at the same time, in a white snow environment that would make the blood stand out a lot because of its color ^^ I would love to see it in your unique and fascinating style ~💕
Yap, I came across a RUclipsr that tried to copy your style, concept, and techniques. Even your thumbs up stuff 😂 and didn’t mention any reference. Felt so bad to see it.
It was quite visible, right? I was like “oh, nice, I inspired someone obviously!”. Looked for the mention and my thought turned into: “auch… not nice at all”… Can’t help it - it just doesn’t feel right…
I was eating a snack of olives while watching this and at 23:48 i thought i spilled some olive juice on the screen because of the handle of the sculpting tool at the bottom and licked my phone lol
North of the Border uses a trick where he'll use a rock and roll it on his foam to give a pretty good rock texture though he is also more of a clay user than a doll customizer but who knows maybe some of his methods might interest you
Re: Inspiration and credit - I come at this from another angle - via the folks who customize Transformers dolls. Transformers is a franchise with excessive character reuse. Many characters have had their stories retold in multiple different ways in different media. Re-creating a specific incarnation of a character in toy form, or creating a toy to show how a specific character _would_ look like if they had been part of a specific media or toyline. Very few people make original characters. So, in TF customizing, telling people what your inspirations are is part of how you give them the context to evaluate your work. Nods to techniques and design decisions by other customizers fall under that umbrella since blocky robots with complex engineering can tend to mask the presence of subtle influences, and you generally want your work to be understood in the context it was intended. I feel like that should be something the wider community should internalize. Aside from being "nice" to list off your inspirations, you want your audience to be able to get the wider context your piece is situated in. Without proper documentation, they may not recognize some important element as being an example or improvisation off an element invented elsewhere. Doll customization is a community, and communities work better when you don't have to know every damn bit of "inside baseball" to fully appreciate a work.
I totally agree. Why being ashamed of the fact that someone inspired us? As you said - it can provide the context and explain the train of thoughts that lead to this particular design. It definitely should be a normal thing to do.
Nah, giving credit doesn't take long, and listening inspirations take even less time! There is just no excuse... Sharing other ppl works it's how artist get to were they are, we all get inspired by other and give inspiration, and we all should just say it out loud! It's a win win situation! I feel like those who may disagree on this idea are ppl who want to get all the credit, the praise.. since there is no way one can be inspired, pretty much do a similar work, and not say who inspired you.. Like, ppl will notice anyways, and will ask confirmation, and they will be having to eventually say it.. So why not just do it from minute 1? It's so simple!
Exactly. Art communities here on YT are not as huge as people may think. Viewers know the artists they follow and they will notice if someone else’s work will be clearly inspired by work of the creator they admire. I know I do notice when I see artists that I love being copied. And of course I am talking only about clearly visible inspiration, like 70-80% of copied design choices. Same elements, same outfits for example, but different pose maybe. We were all inspired by many things at some point, but heavy inspirations just should be credited. Glad that so many people agree with me on this topic ❤️
You are absolutely AMAZING!!! I was seriously glued to the screen watching you create her! God I wish I had even a fraction of your talent!! She looks amazing! The only thing I wish I could’ve seen how you did and applied her hair, that would’ve been awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ♥️♥️♥️ 🕷🕷🕷🕸🕸🕸
Ok but I am an animator who a lot of the time makes 3D models for my characters I need to animate and I’m in love with animal humans and hybrids and a lot of the time I make spider humans and so I understand how to make the spider bottoms look good and it is like what you did, cut more of the middle bump off completely or shape it down it makes it look better and super easy to animate so I got so scared when you showed what it was gonna look ljke 😭 and I literally made a big sigh when you trimmed more off thank you so much you almost gave me a heart attack at first 😂😂
Reminds me of Jorogumo! Jorogumo are spiders that look like women and seduce men so they can eat them. Very interesting creature of Japanese mythology.
"I know one of the boobs is bigger than the other but, who's isn't"
As a woman I felt that in my soul 😂
P.s I think you definitely deserve to get credit for people using you as inspiration I personally don't see a problem with you addressing the problem either
Edit:woah wasn't expecting this
Right? I never in my life thought I would identify so hard with a half human half spider lady 😂
Lol. I remember myself thinking in that moment: "so, even the demonic half spider women are not free of the uneven boob curse". There's definitely not hope to anybody in this world xD
I had a breast reduction and they ended up at least one cup size different afterward. We're all unique and so are our bewbs!
Actually I believe it's because women don't really have the proper knowledge to look after their boobs ? So I think that all women should let me take care of their boobs ???? I would do an amazing job? Peace James
Yup, and after breastfeeding I have a 1/2 cup difference now.
Oddly, the smaller breast was the better producer.
it’s not selfish to want recognition for your work! It’s like citing sources for papers! If I repainted the Mona Lisa and the passed it off as 100% my original design that wouldn’t be okay. Also to people doing this there is no shame in stating someone as inspiration! It doesn’t make your art any less yours because you did it! It’s just showing respect to your fellow artist! You’d want the same done for you!
Kinda wanna see Mona Lisa OC now :P
Amen to that.
Exactly that!
Amen!
💯 agree.
I am already hoping you will also make her cousin, the jumping spider……
Jumping spiders are so adorable, colorful and floofy 🤗
Yessssss!!!! That would be awesome. Kinda like the bee series. I would be willing to wait to watch that.
Omg that would be great!!! A series maybe?
Aw, that would be adorable! She could use the curvier OMG doll again, and lots of fluff!
That would be adorable!
Omg I love jumping spiders, especially when they take in what you're saying... like tiny little doggos ^///^ xxx
The way her hair hangs on the body is such a small but gorgeous detail. Love the way it turned out!
As a nail technician I run into this issue as well and I’m glad you brought it up! It’s why I try to tag creators that have inspired the nails I create! I agree with you 100%
I feel like the fact that all your dolls slay the bald look is a testament to how good your sculptures are, but on the subject of hair it would’ve been hilarious if you gave her a widows peak
It would suit her, you're right XD
I'm sure this will be one of my favorite projects you've done!
I may be terribly afraid of spiders (and some insects), but you manage to create creepy and cute at the same time!💗✨
Keep it up!
Edited: My confidence is justified!
Yes I really enjoy it too.. I'm not scared. That is amazing. 😄😄😄(●'▽'●)ゝ Ναι όντως το απολαμβάνω και εγώ μπορεί να μην τρόμαξα αλλά αυτό είναι πολύ φανταστικό!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much! It is such a relief to be understand by so many of my viewers ^_^ You guys are the best!
Every time I think you can't possibly outdo your last project you find a way to make something even more spectacular! She's amazing!
I told you guys many times! I am so far away from being where I want to be! :D Happy that there is a progress ^_^
I’m not sure I’d say I’m a spider “expert” but I have pet spiders, and I think you did really well with the anatomy actually!! And I have live references so… the only thing is I kinda wish she had 8 eyes and longer thinner black fangs, but overall she’s beautiful and I love how she came out!! I really like the eye-like parts on her body, overall she’s super rad and sexy （≧∇≦）

Fantastic job, Marzena!!!
❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Edit: can’t wait to see what you come up with for Mer-May!!!
I have something for that in an acetone soup already :P
I would love it if you made this into a series! Mythical creatures like this girl are amazing!
Maybe a half snake one
Thissss is exactly what I want to do as a doll customizer. Full on sculptures. If I ever get into it as much as I want to I will credit you. I totally understand as an artist wanting credit. It is one of the best ways to help other artists out as well. Sharing art inspiration (if it is obvious to see the inspiration) totally needs credit. Instant subscribe
You 100% have every right to feel as you do; I've seen several artists clearly inspired by you and yet make no mention. What I do find comforting are all those in the comment section who give those unaware the knowledge of who you are; your fan base is loyal and without being disrespectful about it - myself included. Your work is truly unique and beautiful, sometimes hauntingly so. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Your work is always top-notch! This was so amazing to see!
Also, on the topic of other artists ripping off your/others' work.......they're lucky that you're nicer than I am, because I would have called them out with comparison shots and all kinds of receipts! Frome one creative to another, nothing is worse than an unoriginal "artist" stealing someone else's idea, making little tweaks, and pretending it was their own creativity that brought the project to life. You have every right to be irked by this!
Thank you so much :) I am happy and relief to hear that most of my viewers understands me in this topic. I really don't want to be mad at anyone. I want people to respect me and others and I want to respect them back, that's all :) But I also know that everyone can make mistakes sometimes, this is why I didn't mentioned anyone by name.
@@CatmeleonStudio I can 100% understand how you feel since I actually JUST came across a channel that uses a similar filming style as you and uses your signature wood glue and kitty-litter stand combo in the exact same method. Even their doll was in a similar style to yours... Just seeing it made me uncomfortable, especially without them crediting you as their obvious source of inspiration. But, whatever. You will always be an original!
@@StormingViperX yeah... we may be talking about the same channel :P
She looks phenomenal! I can tell you put a lot of work into making your spider body as accurate as possible. You even thought about including her pedipalps which made me happy; I think most people would have forgotten them. :) As a spider lover this whole project made me so excited and the result looks terrific, congrats! 👏❤
I am so happy to hear it!
I agree! You need to give the original creator credit! It's respectful and fair!
I love your work! I look forward to your videos!
Theres nothing wrong with wanting recognition! If I'm ever inspired by an artist in my artwork I write down their name/username, even if I dont post or show it off. Its simply giving credit where credits due! Great work as always! ❤
I have severe arachnophobia and even I think this is amazing!! Well done!
absolutely nothing selfish about wanting credit for inspiration, your art is beautiful and unique and if people want to honor you by recreating it they should also be honoring you by acknowledging you as a source
Thank you so much for saying that :)
I’m so happy that you mentioned earth to Lylah, she is a really big inspiration to me too! her designs are really otherworldly and creative, which Is kind of like my own artstyle. Because of this, I feel inspired to push the limits of my drawings and go crazy with features and proportions, kinda like you do :D she deserves so much more recognition!
She is my guru! XD She is the one that made me decide that I want to try this art form and I want to make videos of it. You can definitely say that I wouldn't be here if not for her figurines :)
I would get this sculpture if I were to see it on stores, just slam the cash down and get it. The details on the spider body and the cave with all the web. Love it ❤🕷
Thank you so much!
That slight snorting 17:05 Love it XD
XD
Little styrofoam tip that I got from north of the border - smash actual rock into styrofoam to create rock texture
you've outdone yourself again. this is fantastic, and im with your sister in this is horribly wonderful in the most complimentary way possible. I adore your more mature content it is always such an inspiration how you manage to out do yourself every time. I so appreciate being able to follow you on your doll journey, because every video is absolutely stunning both in terms of the art and your video production. I'm in love and also terrified, and i thank you for both.
Aaaw, thank you so much!
Your statement about giving credit where credit is due is spot on! I feel that this can be boiled down to one very big concept.......respect. Somehow with all the acceptance respect for others seems to have been forgotten.
Please do not become discouraged.......your art is fun and wonderful to watch! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for doing what you do!❤
Thank you so much! I am really happy that majority of my viewers agrees with me on this topic, like there's not even a conversation, it is just a right thing to do, period :)
Oh my goodness! Preview alone.. its already fantastic. I cant wait for this masterpiece😊
She's amazing! I'm terrified of spiders, but this is one of the most beautiful dolls you've created. I love that you gave her many extra eyes.
Have you considered making a doll with two heads? I would love to see a conjoined twin or simply two-headed doll translated through your lovely creepy style!
It is not selfish to want recognition, as someone who has had their work ripped off with zero recognition it makes you feel sour inside, because oftentimes they get more recognition for their recreations than the original creators get for their art! Please don’t feel bad for being salty about it!
Thank you! I am sorry that you encounter this too... This truly sucks.
I get you. Is hard to come with new concept that someone hasnt done before and when you manage to break and make something new and have someone to stole the idea and make then thiers, is hard.
You have rights to call out and make a compromise.
She is just so beautiful, her eyes are my favorite feature.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! For compliments and for your understanding of the topic. You can't really do boo when the copy is not like 100% accurate, just very heavily inspired. So it is more about being polite and respectful. And about feelings - and those conversations are the hardest to empathize with :/
@@CatmeleonStudio Yeah I saw a video and the doll maker was inspire by your bees dolls and she even talk about your work in her vídeo. I felt proud of you, becasue people are getting inspire by your beautiful, stunning and unike creativety. We just need honesto and give credits or shout outs, so other can be curious to find another creator and fall in love with their work too.
@@dorisramos9134 That's exactly what it's all about! Sharing the art that we love and recognition for artists that made it :)
You may be talking about Enchanterium? They made a Wasp girl and yes, they mentioned me in the video, which made me very happy to hear ^_^
She’s absolutely epic!! And you have every right to ask for artistic credit when people use you and your techniques as inspiration. Honestly though, I’m terrified of spiders but I think this is one of my favourite doll figures you’ve created
Thank you so much!
I think wanting credit is not selfish, as you said it's common courtesy! And if you got an idea from someone else, give credit for inspiration. You always do give credit who inspire you! Don't be down on yourself for wanting recognition for your hard work. As always, your creation is amazing! Thank you for sharing her with us! 💖
Thank you! So happy to hear that :)
24:11 WOAH the white hair made the nest super realistic! (Coming from a spider geek) this looks a lot like some species of tarantulas nests wow u did an amazing job
I'm not a artist on RUclips but I am on pinterest I have seen ppl steal and copy my art in my opinion if you gonna take inspiration from a artist at least credit them
Right? That's just the only right thing to do...
Ahh I love this one!!!!! I love how you make sure to keep it spooky with your dolls while making them pretty! Also your epoxy transitions are getting so good and smooth, good job! You've mentioned in past videos that it's something you've been working on and you can definitely see the improvement ❤️
As for recognition, it's NOT petty. If someone is using your work as inspiration they need to be crediting you since you're the OG creator.
Thank you! I can see the progress on my works and nothing makes me more happy than that :) Even though there's still long road ahead of me :) I am so happy that you like this girl and that people understand my bitterness :)
I swear it's like doll magic everytime!!!! She looks absolutely stunning!
MAGIC FINGERS! :d
I completely understand your wanting validation on your own work!
Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 🎉. I have never seen someone. Doing what you do. The closest thing that I have seen. Is when someone modifies an action figure. Like modeling a Boba Fett action figure. To a better look than the factory 🏭 look. I love ❤️ that you also said Boris Vallejo. That is what I thought of. When I saw your thumbnail.
One of the big crafting channels for kids copied our entire doll, every detail and they were saying things like "I'm just going to add a few details of my own" 😂 can't find it now but it had way more views then our original design :/
I remember this Nerine rip off! It was hideous to do this by that channel and I believe I even gave them a dislike. This is so infuriating when you see your design copied in 80,90,100!% and no asking permission, no credit whatsoever, cause “shush! I made it by myself”…
This actually made my (mild-ish) arachnophobia flare up. she's gorgeous and so terrifying, i love her
Oh yeah, after waiting for another one of your artworks, I just fell in love with this beautiful sculpture.
I'm not a big fan of spiders, but with you, that fear disappeared.
Thank you for doing such amazing things 💜✨
Thank you for the compliment ^_^
she’s soooo beautiful, it’s a very elegant beauty that uses the dark colors so well!
❤how you do your videos straight to it not a bunch of extra chatting just ❤how you do your art Thang so on point💥💯💋👍plz keep them coming❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing workmanship , thanks for sharing your talents with us.... like your sister, I'm not a fan of spider's. I can appreciate good art....
Chyba pierwszy raz widzę kogos tak utalentowanego co do designu lalek. Widzialam wiele tego typu lalek u np. Dollightfull ale jescze nigdy w tym stylu! Wyglada naprawde wspaniale i mam nadzieję że bedziesz dalej sie rozwijac i tworzyć, powodzonka
Bardzo dziękuję
You basically made Arachne, of Greek Mythology.
I will check it out :)
@@CatmeleonStudio Cool! :)
Your work is AMAZING. We have a saying, “Never let the truth get in the way of telling a good story “. In other words, don’t stress about being anatomically correct. As an artist, you know if something looks off. I could see this piece scaled up, and scaring kids at Halloween. That is an amazing piece. I love it. 👍
Wow!! She's so stunning!!!! I'm sorry RUclips had to be jerks about this vid. They were missing a lot of nuance and didn't take the time to give it a chance. Those jerks!! Glad I got to enjoy it tho!!!
You’re so kind. I would call people ripping me off by their names. You’re definitely an inspiration to many, but they should change up their work more, and give you credit for the ideas they pull from you.
Thank you! I don't want to make them any publicity, good nor bad... I just hope maybe they will see this video and at least they will know that I know and I am not ok with what they are doing (or not doing). That's all.
So cool! Driders are one of my favorite fantasy creatures! And yours is amazing! Beautiful and terrifying all at once. I've said many times you and your art are so inspiring and this sculpture definitely is. But I also need to say that your videos are also fun and entertaining. The information you share is so incredible and descriptive. And you have a good sense of humor, which really helps show how much you love the process of creating, which can often be very stressful. I love this sculpture and look forward to your next creation.
Thank you so very much! I am so happy that you enjoyed this video and my work in general :) Very motivating! ^_^
Stunning work on the model, both the cave and the spider character.
When I was younger I copied a pic and posted it, forgetting to give recognition and the artist came to me and told me that they weren't happy with me. I felt bad. Since then, I've been careful with that.
You inspire me, I wouldn't want you to stop! No your advice and technics are awesome!
Happy to hear that you learned from your small mistake and were willing to admit it. Bad intentions are not always the case and things among common courtesy sometimes need to be learn. Also politeness and mutual respect shouldn't be something to be ashamed of or hidden :)
Thank you for your comment and I am so happy that you enjoy my work!
Wow! This is the first of your work I have seen and I love it! It's fantastic! As a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, this is the PERFECT likeness of Lolth. I look forward to more of your work. Thank you.
I think your work is amazing, it should be recognized. It has inspired me to get back to scalping. I never thought to use a doll to work off of. I dont post stuff to RUclips and my style is very different from yours, but if ever asked, I tell people to check out your channel because it's truly incredible. What pencils do you use?
I’ve been asking so many doll artist for a half-spider creature and you made one that’s so pretty 🤩 This is definitely one of my favorites ❤
Happy to hear that! ^_^ My pleasure! :D
She looks drop dead gorgeous! I'll call her Arachnid the seductive spider demon.
(Story)
In the darkest age of Greece Arachnid daughter of Arachne was out Lust & Pride, her weaving skills were very unique but using that skill cute lead men to their doom.
Arachnid was indeed a spider witch like her mother, a professional widow who did unimaginable things during the dark ages like hanging her victims upside down, drain of blood & dragged around, clothes ripped to shreds while the walls were painted in blood, even the furniture were chewed & crushed like a savaged beast trashed the men's homes.
She disguised herself as a beautiful women & lead men to her cave thus ending their lives, beware the spiders should thou enter their webs will only leads you to the path of death.
See you on your next video & Happy Birthday.💖🕸🕷
Thank you so much! Another great story
@@CatmeleonStudio Yw, I'm really glad my stories inspire your work.
I have feeling that this video was demonitised because it was most viewed (and it's absolutely gorgeus), but also think that it might be the word "negro", the platform could falsely mark it as insult.
first time watching you. Fantastic work. She reminds me of a DRider or Lloth Queen of the Drow both from D&D....
24:44 if the body wasn’t on there that looks very accurate to an atomically tarantula 🫢
May RUclips trip and bump their nose for the ridiculous monetary issues. This lady is stunning. Period.
Again this is the third time watching this awesome video you don't need to explain your case for other artist to include your video if they are using your ideas they should of said it before starting the costumering their dolls and explain why they copied your style, (copying your work is unbelievable you are bloody awesome) love ya hun Xxxx ps its not a rant its just stating the facts and common cursity xxx
I have an idea for a doll customization- How do you like the idea~ “*+*Half devil- Half Angel?*+*”
Could you make a doll of a snow leopard? It is my favorite animal and I think you could make a doll with a very wild but beautiful style at the same time, in a white snow environment that would make the blood stand out a lot because of its color ^^ I would love to see it in your unique and fascinating style ~💕
Yap, I came across a RUclipsr that tried to copy your style, concept, and techniques. Even your thumbs up stuff 😂 and didn’t mention any reference. Felt so bad to see it.
It was quite visible, right? I was like “oh, nice, I inspired someone obviously!”. Looked for the mention and my thought turned into: “auch… not nice at all”… Can’t help it - it just doesn’t feel right…
@@CatmeleonStudio Yes, it was very obvious to me and upsetting. I can’t imagine how disappointing it must be for you 😔
I am impressed with your technique. What kind of colored pencil are you using? I would like to try them.
I was eating a snack of olives while watching this and at 23:48 i thought i spilled some olive juice on the screen because of the handle of the sculpting tool at the bottom and licked my phone lol
North of the Border uses a trick where he'll use a rock and roll it on his foam to give a pretty good rock texture though he is also more of a clay user than a doll customizer but who knows maybe some of his methods might interest you
I wouldn't have felt the concept being too similar to The bait if the human part was purely human, since this time the human part is not only a limp
Not to sound sadistic or anything, but NOw you got to feed Barbie and Ken to yr Spider Lady and film it.
Lol. Forbidden Nips. That sounds like an alcoholic candy.
XD
You should do a Scorpion Queen Doll like from the Scorpion King movie only a queen.
i think it would be perfect if you made a ladybug fairy😍🐞🐞🐞🐞
I feel like she could have slayed the super short pixie cut, but I love this hairstyle too! ❤
Hello gurl i love your videos and your Arts and crafts it's looks good and beautiful
Ojala hicieras la versión masculina. Mis hijos me piden pero masculinos 😅. Me gusto tu estudio, limpio y ordenado .
Isn't petty , you should get the due recognition that you deserve for the hard work that you do
Wow... ?! Amazing work! I subscribed after watching. Look forward to seeing more videos.
Despite your egotistical rant in the middle your amazing at the art you do
Re: Inspiration and credit - I come at this from another angle - via the folks who customize Transformers dolls. Transformers is a franchise with excessive character reuse. Many characters have had their stories retold in multiple different ways in different media. Re-creating a specific incarnation of a character in toy form, or creating a toy to show how a specific character _would_ look like if they had been part of a specific media or toyline. Very few people make original characters.
So, in TF customizing, telling people what your inspirations are is part of how you give them the context to evaluate your work. Nods to techniques and design decisions by other customizers fall under that umbrella since blocky robots with complex engineering can tend to mask the presence of subtle influences, and you generally want your work to be understood in the context it was intended.
I feel like that should be something the wider community should internalize. Aside from being "nice" to list off your inspirations, you want your audience to be able to get the wider context your piece is situated in. Without proper documentation, they may not recognize some important element as being an example or improvisation off an element invented elsewhere. Doll customization is a community, and communities work better when you don't have to know every damn bit of "inside baseball" to fully appreciate a work.
I totally agree. Why being ashamed of the fact that someone inspired us? As you said - it can provide the context and explain the train of thoughts that lead to this particular design. It definitely should be a normal thing to do.
Nah, giving credit doesn't take long, and listening inspirations take even less time! There is just no excuse...
Sharing other ppl works it's how artist get to were they are, we all get inspired by other and give inspiration, and we all should just say it out loud!
It's a win win situation!
I feel like those who may disagree on this idea are ppl who want to get all the credit, the praise..
since there is no way one can be inspired, pretty much do a similar work, and not say who inspired you.. Like, ppl will notice anyways, and will ask confirmation, and they will be having to eventually say it.. So why not just do it from minute 1? It's so simple!
Exactly. Art communities here on YT are not as huge as people may think. Viewers know the artists they follow and they will notice if someone else’s work will be clearly inspired by work of the creator they admire. I know I do notice when I see artists that I love being copied. And of course I am talking only about clearly visible inspiration, like 70-80% of copied design choices. Same elements, same outfits for example, but different pose maybe. We were all inspired by many things at some point, but heavy inspirations just should be credited. Glad that so many people agree with me on this topic ❤️
You are absolutely AMAZING!!! I was seriously glued to the screen watching you create her! God I wish I had even a fraction of your talent!! She looks amazing! The only thing I wish I could’ve seen how you did and applied her hair, that would’ve been awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
♥️♥️♥️
🕷🕷🕷🕸🕸🕸
Happened to come across this channel and instantly fell in love. You certainly have a knack for this and it's spectacular! Keep it up!!
Ok but I am an animator who a lot of the time makes 3D models for my characters I need to animate and I’m in love with animal humans and hybrids and a lot of the time I make spider humans and so I understand how to make the spider bottoms look good and it is like what you did, cut more of the middle bump off completely or shape it down it makes it look better and super easy to animate so I got so scared when you showed what it was gonna look ljke 😭 and I literally made a big sigh when you trimmed more off thank you so much you almost gave me a heart attack at first 😂😂
I am happy too that I fixed that ^_^
Your work is always top notch, I don't paint dolls, but am amazed at what you produce in every video, great job as usual!
Do you think you could do a doll on heterocromia?? Like the two different collored eye thing?? Specifically blue and brown :)
I am pretty sure I may incorporate it in some of my projects in the future :) I really like this feature.
It’s amazing that it’s 2023 and people STILL haven’t grasped the concept of /crediting artists/ 😒
Right?
Reminds me of Jorogumo! Jorogumo are spiders that look like women and seduce men so they can eat them. Very interesting creature of Japanese mythology.
Many people mentioned it here so I checked it out :) Japanese folklore is amazing :)
Would you consider doing a Venus flytrap or Jack-o-lantern mushroom inspired doll? One is carnivorous the other is poisonous.
For every concept suggestions I can only say: maybe in the future :)
Young lady, you are skilled! This is amazing!
